Travelling by YouTube might be considered pathetic- do the real thing and express real opinions based on your experiences not recycle second hand opinions from You tube vlogs. Have you been to Thailand yet? I live in Thailand. One man's dump is another man's paradise. No stupid visa rules if you live in Sarawak. And the S-MM2H is good for the whole country. You know nothing. Please spread your lack of information on another forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it has the same standard of living at the same cost and ( mandatory ) has an equivalent vibrant farang bar scene, IMO it wouldn't be worth my time. I didn't love Thailand for the temples and the food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand will never change. They want millionaires not ordinary retired citizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry to hear that you think sex drive is lost after 70 years old. I still have the urge if not the opportunity. An agent makes immigration messing about meaningless, and hot hookers are worth it. I certainly hope that Thailand will never change, if it means that at least one place in the world hasn't gone woke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the yearly 14 thousand baht pricetag, but I will not tie up my money in a shoddy Thai bank, so there is no alternative. No one has gone "woke", I just want to be left the hell alone once I shell out my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear it. I don't like Immigration hassles, which is why I am looking toward the Philippines or possibly Malaysia or Indonesia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sungod Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Another thread where everyone moans about Thailand and says they are off. Most of the posters will be saying the same thing in 12 months time and will still be here...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ultimate irony would be to arrive in the promised land, only to find it no better than the one left behind. Anywhere can be great till one actually lives there. Even Thailand was better for me when I was visiting, than when I moved there to live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
